Beaford Green Parish Council - Climbing the Heights!

In early 2018, a plan was formed by Beaford Green Parish Council
in Devon to rejuvenate their tired play area with exciting new
equipment. A climbing frame for older children was decided
upon and in April 2018 the first and second stages of an
application to the Pennon Environmental Fund via Viridor Credits
was submitted.

Below is the area that had been set aside for the new piece of
equipment to go.

In June 2018 it was confirmed that the Parish Council had been
awarded the maximum £20,000 towards the purchase and installation
of a 'Birds Nest tree' - a multi-layered climbing frame including
ladders, rope monkey bars and baskets.

On the 26 November, Grants Officer Phil Lettley was invited to
see the finished installation - and the phrase 'climbing frame'
certainly does not do justice to what has been able to be
installed. With a climbing height of 3 metres and an overall
height of 6 metres along with an amazing safety surfacing the
brightly coloured multi use apparatus is an impressive sight.

The result of the Parish Council's efforts is clear to see at
the end of school and at weekends when children swarm to the new
equipment. Plans are afoot to add to the revamped play area
and we for one can't wait to see what other exciting things the
Parish Council have in store!

The picture below show some of the amazing people involved with
this project.
